The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 971

Laura's POV:

Rufus hesitated for a while before utterly denying, "No, I'm just curious."

Despite his reassuring response, I was still worried.

These past few days, Rufus didn't show any sign of favoritism toward Crystal, but I had noticed that whenever he looked at her, there was happiness in his eyes that he wasn't even aware of.

I remembered Crystal once said that if Rufus fell in love with her again, the black thorns on his back would grow again. And if that happened, there was no way to save him.

I hoped that nothing tragic would happen again. Crystal, more than anybody else, could not bear to go through that agonizing separation again.

Having mentally prepared my question, I asked hesitantly, "You seem to be interested in Crystal, huh?"

"Really? Maybe I'm just being overly cautious with a potentially dangerous person," Rufus said in a light voice, as if he was answering a question about his meal today.

"A potentially dangerous person?" I didn't expect this answer at all, so I raised my voice uncontrollably.

"Isn't a she-wolf who doesn't take me seriously dangerous?" Rufus snorted. Although he sounded normal, I somehow felt that he was feeling wronged. On second thought, Crystal really didn't take Rufus seriously enough. She would occasionally surprise me with her brazen behavior. Only Crystal had the courage to bring up issues that even I avoided discussing with Rufus.

Who else could Rufus blame? He had spoiled her too much before, and that was why she turned out like this.
